Product Option reflected in shopping cart

Hi,

I added product options to e-cart following the "Add Product Options into eCart" tutorial and it works great - thanks a lot for a great tutorial.

So the price increment reflects in the cart.php according to the option the customer uses. But I can't figure out how I can also reflect the type of option that the customer has chosen in the cart. So if the customer for example chooses the size Large, he currently only sees this reflected in the price since the name of the product remains the same. How can I also transfer the option text (Large) that the customer has chosen in the cart?

Thanks a lot and best regards,

Joerg

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your reply but I can't see the similarities of the post. I am not trying to pass on the info to paypal.

I am trying to pass the option information from the products_detail.php page to the cart.php page and then later through the checkout and eventually to the confirmation e-mail the customer gets.

Passing the info to paypal is the same as passing it to the Cart page or to the email.


create the calcualtion to contcatinate the name and the options:

  edit the eCart object and create a new calculation on the calculation tab.

Set the Type of the new calculation to text and the name to "NameOptions", the calculation should be:
[Name] . ' Color:' . [colorColumnName] . ' Size:' . [sizeColumnName]  

then edit the codwe to display the name on the cart page or in the email:

$WA_Store_Cart->DisplayInfo("Name")

to use the new calculation that includes the options concatenated:

$WA_Store_Cart->DisplayInfo("NameOptions")

Perfect. Thanks for clarifying. This worked great.

Best,
Joerg
